Christchurch Police are currently investigating
the burglaries to four separate sports club rooms that have
occurred over the last month. Offenders have broken in to
club rooms in the suburbs of Papanui, Hornby and Lincoln and
have targeted alcohol during these burglaries.
These
events have typically occurred at the end of the working
week when the facilities have increased their alcohol stocks
for the weekend’s sales.
Positive leads are being
followed however Police will be increasing patrols around
these facilities and ask the public to be vigilant and
report any suspicious activities.
Police also ask for the public to report any suspicious private sales of cheap alcohol.
The public can contact their local police station or report anything suspicious through the CrimeStoppers phone line which is confidential - 0800 555 111.
